It stars twelve professors of constitutional law, plus Steve Halbrook, David Kopel, Don Kates, and Clayton Cramer. You can order the DVD here. And here's the Wikipedia page on it.

Petition to have guns confiscated (and more)

Posted by David Hardy · 3 February 2014 03:46 PM

Mark Dice, famed for soliciting (and getting) signatures on outrageous petitions, visits a California college campus and successfully gets signatures on a petition to confiscate all guns. He builds on that by adding steadily more outrageous descriptions of the petition -- repeal the Second Amendment, house to house searches by the military, lock gun owners up in concentration camps, and still they sign. He goes even farther -- we want to have gun owners executed, or just shot down, they are just peasants, peasants shouldn't have guns ... and still they sign.

To be fair, one guy did refuse to "repeat after me" the line about peasants, though.

It's not so much stupidity as it is mind set. The system is bad; all protest against the status quo is therefore good. So any petition to change things should be supported and doesn't need to be investigated any further. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

I won't even go as far as you guys did. I suffered through that entire 10 minute waste, and although I won't get that 10 minutes of my life back, I really think this had more to do with kids just wanting to make the guy go away then wanting to put gun owners in "FEMA camps." The guy came off like a nut, and probably few people wanted to tell him he was a nut or, more likely, being on a college campus they have learned to ignore political nuts.

When I solicit signatures for a petition, generally people are enthusiastic if they are on board. People who don't care will often sign just to be polite, and people who are opposed only occasionally seek conflict. I didn't see much enthusiasm in that video.
